A representative from the Admission team will visit Seedling to meet with your child during the school day in January/February 2023. The Admission team will mark this iteam as complete on your checklist.

The interview will last approximately 30 minutes. Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link. The first half of the interview will be with your child and the second half will be with the parent(s) and/or guardians(2). You can schedule your time starting mid-December.
